Metcalf Avenue is part of a 2007 project that includes the reconstruction and widening of Metcalf from 99th to 103rd streets.

In addition to widening/reconstructing to accomodate three lanes of traffic, this $8.6 million project includes:

• A raised median with landscaping,
• Left and right turn lanes at required locations,
• One larger bridge over Indian Creek,
• City-standard street lighting,
• Underground storm sewers,
• A five-foot concrete sidewalk on the west side of the roadway,
• A new bridge (con-span) west of Metcalf Avenue at 101st Street,
• Traffic signal modifications at Metcalf and 99th Street, and
• An eight-foot asphalt bike trail on the east side.

Also included in this project is mill and overlay on Metcalf from 103rd Street south to the Interstate 435 interchange.

Construction started in May 2007. It is scheduled to last through September 2008.
